The much anticipated follow up to Midnight Fashion was held last Friday at the Royal Melbourne Hotel, and it goes without saying that Midnight Fashion 2 was a fantastic success. Several hundred of Melbourne’s young and stylish turned up on the night to witness fun, fashion and to get a taste of what up and coming local designers have in store this season.

Kiss Chacey opened the first parade of the evening with their line of funky, bright range of menswear featuring graphic Henley tees paired with dark skinny jeans for a laid back, surf inspired look. I can see this range loved by boys and men alike.

Chocolate City went on to impress with a grungy range of menswear featuring leather jackets, faux fur trims along with preppy vests and knit scarves. Chocolate City’s women’s range was no less impressive. Flattering high waisted dark indigo skinny jeans and skirts featured heavily, along with slinky print dresses that finished well above the knee.

Gimp menswear went on to demonstrate that tough skull prints are still very much a feature this season, with fantastic skull print tee opening their parade. Quirky graphic tees featured heavily in Gimp’s parade, including a rather edible looking steak…of course, Gimp finished off their tough look with dark to black skinnys and trainers.

LMaree sure was prepared for her Midnight Fashion show; the designer had a cheer squad donned in matching ‘LMaree’ tees positioned at the runway ready to announce her arrival. LMaree was right on trend showcasing blazers and ice-skating skirts teamed with pussy bow blouses and cropped vests. LMarees designs included the continuance of the high waist, paired with simple tops featuring delicate details such as beading and neck ties. LMaree’s show was all about the detail, a standout number being a black shift frock with abstractly embroidered lace teamed with oil-slick leggings. Not only did LMaree feature lace; sequins, ruffles and beautiful fabrics also adorned her parade.

Voyager menswear was simple yet on trend. The line featured simple tees, cotton collared shirts, teamed with slouchy canvas jackets and funky nylon bombers. The range had a preppy edge to it with pieces such as knit pullovers and scarves teamed with distressed denim. All in all, a very wearable line that would appeal to a large demographic of gents.

Shona Design certainly injected a hit of colour into the evening with her funky designs. The range featured brightly coloured shift dresses in a range of fabrics and prints. The line would not have been complete without a striking quilted gold hooded dress teamed with sheer black tights. The standout of Shona Design’s parade was a super quirky, yet very wearable blue jumpsuit, styled to perfection with sheet hosiery and black platform heels. Shona Design pieces are certainly recognisable, unique and just what we need to liven up a chilly Melbourne winter day.
